Chosen App gets FULLSCREENed on first launch in window mode

[N-U-ser]

When opening app for first time (Not in recents),This happens---

2)

3)

4) Then the appears as an endless abyss and can be moved

But after first try, meaning when above process is done it and the window is closed using cross ui button and app remains in recents ,then On Subsequent launches of the App in window mode work successfully

6)

7)

8)

The app should launch on first try. The Mi-freeform app (https://github.com/sunshine0523/Mi-Freeform/releases/download/v2.5.18/app-release.apk) has a toggle to fix this issue in settings , you could look into that app ,don't know if it might help.

By the way, Love your ShizuTools (Tasker intent shell) , also i was just thinking about shizuku could be used to make non-root sound-assistant similarly the way RootlessJamesdsp works and then i found out you made SoundMaster.But Only SoundMaster is not loading app list in my phone.I will raise the issue in ShizuTools thread, i would appreciate it if you check that out.

Does the "Attempt Forced start" toggle improve your situation?

As for shizutools, I did check the issue and made some little tweaks in the code which might be helpful. you can try the dev build to confirm.

In all, when "Attempt Forced start" option is turned on, chosen app never opens successfully.Even on second attempt and the "Retry launch" doesn't make any change.

Here is how it happens :-

2)

And sometimes on first try and always on second try it launches in Splitscreen mode:-

2)

And in this situation, on the next attempt, app chooser window can open in the floating window overlay

Just looked at how Mi-Freeform acts with/without the stabilizer option enabled.And it is acting the same way Extendroid is behaving (While "Attempt Forced start" is disabled).

You should look into Mi-Freeform code (Method) , if its available (Open source/Public?).

This is its Stabilizer option i am talking about. The one at the top.

When i turned off the option and attempted to launch app the first time, it poped out of floating window and became Fullscreened.
1)

2)

3)

And when i tried to launch it in floating window second time, while not removing it from recents, it launched successfully.
1)

This is the behavior when the Stabilizer option is off.
But when it is on, Apps always launch successfully and on the first attempt.

Will check those out once I have the opportunity, Thanks for doing all those research!

Not sure if this project is still updated, but I am also facing this issue only thing is even when the app have been launched it stills goes into the abyss mode since once the floating window loads it automatically switches to the app on full screen as well

I have this problem too. I have just installed the last version on Android 12 MIUI 13.0.n
The first time after reboot it opens there app ok, but the second time it open always the desktop and you can see the abbys 😄. I use Nova Launcher.
After trying several times I can't close the pop-up windows. The menu appears but ignores taps.
